Psalm 51:5 - we are conceived in the iniquity of sin. This shows the necessity of baptism from conception.

No, Baptism does not save.

We are born-again, and thus saved from sin and put on the path to heaven through repentence and faith as the Gospel account shows. See John chapter 3.

"No, Baptism does not save."

1Pt:3:21: "Whereunto baptism, being of the like form, now saveth you "

That’s right. Baptism never saves unless the person being baptized has received the Lord Jesus Christ into his or her life. THEN we baptize to cleanse them from their sin.
